To execute sample webapp based contributions (contributions that have webapp at the end of their name) you can build the contribution using maven and then copy the resulting war file to your container of choice For example, for binding-jsonrpc/contribution-calculator-webapp, do the following cd samples/binding-jsonrpc/contribution-calculator-webapp mvn cp target/sample-contribution-binding-jsonrpc-calculator-webapp.war your_container_deployment-dir As an alternative sample webapp based contributions can be run within Jetty directly from Maven, look for webapp contributions that have the following configuration in their pom.xml file: org.mortbay.jetty maven-jetty-plugin 6.1.18 For contributions that have this, for example, binding-jsonrpc/contribution-calculator-webapp, do the following cd samples/binding-sca/contribution-calculator mvn jetty:run This will launch the contribution in the Jetty runtime and then wait. At this point you can use HTTP clients to send messages to services that the running SCA applcation exposes. For this example try pointing your browser at: http://localhost:8080/sample-contribution-binding-jsonrpc-calculator-webapp/
